Old coaching type inn. Lots of the original old beams and low ceilings. Hotel room I stayed in was on the main road and over the bar area. A little noisy from the bar till around 11 o'clock but quite afterwards. Bed was nice and comfy. Bathroom was surprisingly small as the room was huge. My son stayed in another... More

I came here for lunch with a friend. The menu is quite large, but everything I ordered had 'run out". My friend ordered fish and chips and the breaded plaice was so overdone it looked like (and probably could have been used as) a table tennis racket! I had fish gougons, and asked for salad rather than chips. Sadly, they... More

Stayed at the bull twice now in the last few mouths and found it to be a good all round experience . Rooms are basic but clean ,stuff helpful and nothing to much trouble . Breakfast lovely and well organised with plenty of variety . It is excellent value for money .

Nice setting, lovely building and the food is pretty good. Ok it's not the sort of place I would go to for fine dining but for horses for course it was very good. 9 of us ate, including drinks, for £129 on a sunday lunch - excellent value with various offers. Staff were helpful and friendly too.

Stayed here one night after attending a wedding reception at the beautiful Gosfield Hall. Arrived with hubby and in laws at lunchtime and had a nice lunch. Then on checking in our room had not been serviced and was also very cold. Waited with in laws in their room while ours was done. Asked if the heating could be turned... More

We checked in to the Bull Hotel in Halstead for a one night stay. No sooner had we found our room we were turning around and leaving! We wasn't expecting it to be the most glamorous place we have ever stayed, but I believe that there is a certain standard for hotels which this place was no where near reaching... More
